Kruger stepped out for the post-Oscars bash in a lacy Valentino dress. Hairstylist Kylee Heath for Morroccanoil said that she wanted the hair to go with it: "She was inspired by the 2013 Valentino show—where the models hair was parted and then pulled back into a lot braids," says Heath. Trying this at home may not be easy (however a paired down version is definitely doable)—"the back of it is very complex," says Heath, who prepped the actress's hair with Morroccanoil Root Boost as well as Volumizing Mousse and Treatment Oil Light along her ends before combing her hair into a middle part and then blow drying with a round brush.

That's when the layers upon layers of braids were made, including two sections running along the nape of her neck and hair line that were woven together as well as the entire back section (which Haylee pulled into a pony) that were then made into various size braids and looped and woven throughout each other.

Finally, a large section that was left out was braided to go over all the rest so that where one begins and another ends is not clear. The most interesting aspect: Haylee didn't use any elastics to secure the ends. "I sprayed them with Morroccanoil Luminous Hairspray then teased the ends to get them to stay," she told Harper's BAZAAR. A bit of Luminous Hairspray added stunning shine. The result: "Modern romantic braids with a bit of an edge," says Haylee.
